What I see is a fake apology, and a fake resignation, the logic of which reminds me of the "revolving door" policy of the Palestinian Authority a few years back. They would "capture" terrorists, seen to be putting them behind bars as they go through the front door only to be let out quietly through the back door a few days later. Only here Arun is leaving through the front door in the expectation of slinking back into "his" Institute six months from now. I'll bet it is all arranged and understood in an "gentlemen's agreement".

I wouldn't be surprised if he is formally on paid leave for six months...

Thanks for covering this story! Glad I could bring it to your attention.

Gentlemen's agreement, I don't think so. No, I don't think Gandhi will slink back. He won't have to go back. He's a star now.

Accepting the resignation was a genuine move, and it was a mistake. Gandhi appears to be taking the high road now, and I imagine that he'll be following W&M's footsteps on the lecture circuit. In his speeches he'll refer, in gentle words, to his having to leave Rochester. He'll play the martyr. At least, his audiences will see him as a martyr, and he won't dissuade them from that view. He'll play his grandfather...to the hilt. He's non-violent, don't you know.

And the fact that the name of the university president who accepted his resignation is Joel *Seligman*, a Jewish name, is the last nail in that coffin. This incident will be added to the litany of oppression by Jewish power against "those who dare to speak out."

Seligman made an error here, a colossal error. This incident would have genuinely blown over if Gandhi had stayed in his comfortable little perch, in his small and little-known think tank, in a school of solid by middling academic reputation (it's not Harvard), isolated in upstate New York. Now... well... you can guess what will happen. He'll probably double bill with Walt and Mearsheimer.

It's like waiting for the second shoe to drop. We'll be hearing about how the Jews and the Israel Lobby have long arms.

arun gandhi is a decent man.he meant no hurt to
any one.he pleaded for togetherness for fellow
arabs.i was in nazi extermination camp in upper
austria.i felt if i were a jew i would have resisted
in dignity.this i write having tasted kosher meal.
if jews are semite arabs as well are semites.
what we mean is we are all humans.
dr.kreisky,who was jew, lived fighting the
jews within austria and came back to
austria to lead the country for more than
ten years as chancellor. he was a great
human tried his best to bring peace and
understanding between arabs and jews.
i salute that great human,=taravadu taranga trust

I am not certain what the above means.

However, Gandhi's remarks on Jews are visious and bogoted.

Arun Gandhi may be a decent man by your lights, but he didn't do a decent thing.

It just goes to show that "decency" is no guarantee of wisdom.
